Hamilton Rd and Grey St north intersection to become a full cul-de-sac.
Plans for a cul-de-sac in Cambridge at the intersection with Hamilton Rd and Grey St Waipā, and an extension to the walking and cycling paths have been approved by Waipa District Council’s Service Delivery Committee.
More than 170 submissions were received during consultation in October last year through an online
and hard-copy survey, a drop-in session and a workshop with Cambridge Middle School students.
Transportation manager Bryan Hudson said a great range of feedback was received, which helped further define the plans.
The Ministry of Education, Bicycle Revolution Cambridge, Cambridge Community Board and more than 70 per cent of submissions were in favour of the north end of Grey St becoming a full cul-de-sac.
“The cul-de-sac will help provide a safe path for cyclists and pedestrians along Grey St for children travelling to and from Cambridge Middle School. It will eliminate through traffic and will substantially reduce the number of vehicles,” Hudson said.
